rgbif v3.7.9

NEW FEATURES

There have been many additions for accessing dataset metadata.

• dataset_export() downloads all of the results of a dataset_search().

• New functions for getting dataset metadata from a datasetkey (uuid) : dataset_get(), dataset_process(), dataset_networks(), dataset_constituents(), dataset_comment(), dataset_contact(), dataset_endpoint(),
  dataset_identifier(), dataset_machinetag(), dataset_tag(), dataset_metrics().

• New function for getting more obscure dataset metadata, such as machineTags: dataset().

• New functions for listing dataset metadata : dataset_noendpoint(), dataset_duplicate().

• dataset_doi() gets dataset metadata from the dataset's doi.

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Error message improvements for occ_count(). (#686)

Documentation

• New article Getting Dataset Metadata From GBIF

DEPRECATED

• There are no longer static data files in rgbif. This data is better fetched fresh from the appropriate endpoints. (#690) (#688)

• datasets() is soft deprecated, since the interface was overloaded and confusing. See functional replacements above.
